5-Star Players LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles. While there are several questions surrounding Chip Kelly’s offense, there is no question that McCoy will be at the center of it. Expect a heavy workload against an overall weak Redskins defense. McCoy is a stud RB1. 4-Star Players Robert Griffin III, QB, Redskins. RG3’s recovery from knee surgery went as well as hoped and he’ll be under center in Week 1. Even though we didn’t get to see him in the preseason, fantasy owners can trust him as a fantasy starter....

You can answer “yes” to that question if you listen to this week’s Sporting News Fantasy Football Podcast. Segments include: Week 10 Rankings We look at Fantasy Source’s rankings and identify one guy at each position who we think is too high or too low. How do you feel this week about Matthew Stafford (Calvin’s back!), Bobby Rainey (Charles Sims is here!), Larry Fitzgerald (Carson Palmer hasn’t imploded!), and Jason Witten (Tony Romo still has a broken back!...

So, yes, guys like Malcolm Mitchell, Ryan Mathews, and more under-the-radar players could be deciding fantasy matchups this week. It happens every year – the only difference is this year, there aren’t a lot of obvious candidates. Still, we dug deep for some guys who could easily outperform where we have them ranked this week. For the players we think might be overranked, click here . WEEK 14 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

We saw a number of talented offensive playmakers go early, including five quarterbacks, three wide receivers and a tight end in the first 15 picks. But while the big names stand out, other players who went later may make just as big of an impact in their first year as the stars. Just look at last year when undrafted running back James Robinson finished as a top-10 player at his position....

When picking players, it’s easy to get excited about rookies. They represent fresh young talent with untapped upside to increase the pool of the best statistical producers in the NFL. Regardless of where a prospect was taken in the real draft, it’s now all about how talented they are, how well they fit with their new NFL teams, and whether the situation is favorable to produce fantasy numbers sooner rather than later....

We talk about a few other players, such as Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, David Johnson, Ronald Jones, Kareem Hunt,Tyler Lockett, Terry McLaurin, Christian Kirk, Zach Ertz, T.J. Hockenson and more snoozers like that, but our hearts are really with dudes like Dwelley, Ballage, Hill, Tre’Quan Smith, Auden Tate, and Luke Stocker (all mentioned). WEEK 11 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

Just two teams (Raiders, Ravens) are on bye this week, and they feature only a handful of “must-starts” between them. Still, with the likes of Marquise Brown, Lamar Jackson, Darren Waller, Mark Andrews, and Josh Jacobs unavailable – plus of host of injured players – plenty of fantasy owners will have to dig deep for waiver wire streamers and reserve sleepers. Below, we’ll discuss those players and all the borderline fantasy plays who give you headaches every week....

Fantasy football owners don’t lose a ton of their “must-start” options with the Bengals, Bills, Cowboys and Seahawks on bye, but with injuries piling up, chances are you need a fill-in or two. Factor in players with bad matchups that you don’t want/shouldn’t start, and there is plenty of intrigue heading into Week 6. WEEK 6 RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide Receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker...

While the most high-profile signing of the summer and last season’s top points-scorer have been straightforward selections for many, there are, as ever, thornier dilemmas elsewhere for the opening weekend. Captaining a player ensures they double the number of points they pick up, making wise decisions crucial for managers keen to cash in as much as possible and start off in style. To whom should you give your virtual armband?...

Cooper immediately becomes the No. 1 receiver in Dallas, and it’s not particularly close. For the first seven weeks of the season, the Cowboys have plodded along on offense with Cole Beasley, Allen Hurns, and rookie Michael Gallup as their top receivers....

There are plenty of other interesting sleepers likely sitting on your waiver wire, though. Let’s take a look at some preseason pickup candidates and a few others you might add to your watchlist. What’s up with the Ravens RB depth chart? Fantasy owners, specifically those with Justin Forsett, got a shock this weekend when the veteran and presumed Ravens starter was released. Owners likely ran out to grab Terrance West and may have even dropped Forsett before he was re-signed by Baltimore on Monday....
